The Perfect Yarn Selection

Choosing the right yarn is essential for your Pumpkin Granny Squares. Opt for orange, green, and brown shades to create that classic pumpkin look. Make sure it's soft and easy to work with, as you'll be spending hours crocheting these delightful squares. I am using Saver from Iceyarns, which is accessible here.

Crochet Hook Size

A 6.0 mm crochet hook works best for this project. You can access it here. It offers just the right tension for your stitches, ensuring that your squares come out crisp and uniform.
